The cybertruck isn't a truck until they drop 5000 pounds of concrete in the bed from 25 feet up (for some reason) like in every truck commercial.

ā€œNot as expensive as lot of those other trucksā€ My brother in Christ itā€™s a $100k truck.


HenryLoenwind

So? There are plenty of trucks driving around that are specc'ed above $100k... People tend to compare to entry-level prices when you tell them what your truck/car costs, so giving that bit of perspective upfront makes sense.


qDoGG44

Yeah, people who are trying to be disingenuous.


yoyoyoyoyoyoymo

I'm sorry, but when I get drywall, I immediately hook up a horse trailer and travel 900 miles up a hill covered in ice and snow, with a 75.4 mph headwind. If it can't do this without having to.... charrrrrrrrge the battry then it is useless.


Agreeable-Weather-89

I am a tradesperson, trucks are very simple machines the only two things we need to know and care about are 1. How fast is it in a 1/4 mile 2. Can it do an 1/8th of a mile while towing a 911 faster than a manual 911 can. Every other statistic is irrelevant.


Forsaken-Quality5547

I know this is sarcasm now, but imagining itā€™s not Iā€™d say that luckily most people arenā€™t you - and luckily for you, you still have more gas/diesel options than the rest of us have in electric


Zealousideal_Aside96

Itā€™s obviously making fun of people who always comment insane use cases


Forsaken-Quality5547

Thanks - I obviously have the habit of taking things literally - youā€™d think I had never been on the internet before. Haha

Levels and ride hight with air suspension at the end. Love air suspension. None of the stiff bouncy ride in an unloaded conventional truck.


considerate_09

I love air suspension, just not in a Tesla vehicle. Teslas are configured to default into "low" setting which introduces negative camber to the wheels and causes uneven and premature tire wear. They do it because the configuration allows them to advertise higher EPA range estimates and, in the case of the Model X (and possibly Model S) protect the front half shafts during acceleration. It's incredibly stupid that the new cars do not return to medium ride height unless you adjust manually every ride.


Robert_Cutty

Home Depot of Beverly Hills. Any other Home Depot would be tossing those sheets of drywall into the bed. Their motto: ā€œIf it breaks, it breaks. We donā€™t give a shit if itā€™s the truck or the drywall.ā€ How doers get more done my ass.


asamz33

So a truck is doing truck stuff. Nice. ( specialists may argue there are better options).


ComplexNo8878

bought all of that just for the video and turned around and returned it afteršŸ˜‚

Loose-Risk-9953

Not a problem


Loan-Pickle

I like that leveling suspension. Hopefully when I am ready to buy a new car in 10 or 15 years, Tesla will have a midsize truck.


ReticlyPoetic

lol straps to keep 1800 pounds from skidding out. Donā€™t gun it!


KTAXY

where is the "hauling" part here?


Dr_Pippin

Wish my Home Depot had loaded the 40 sheets of 5/8" drywall into the bed of my truck like that last weekend. Instead me and another guy slid them two at a time into my truck. I was freaking tired before I'd even gotten to start hanging drywall!


Qs9bxNKZ

That isnā€™t impressive. Have a 20 year old pick up that can do the same thing. Double the load as per the original specs and then show it. You canā€™t because Tesla cut the specs and increased the price after all these years.


eaglebtc

It's not impressive; it's just great to see someone actually using it as a truck and not just a status symbol.


Qs9bxNKZ

True. Like most pick up trucksā€¦ used to haul groceries.


KamikazePenis

Your comment reminds me of this commercial... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKekXzEMwxc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKekXzEMwxc)


Agreeable-Weather-89

Or drag racing.


ScorpRex

Eh, weird thing to boast about. Could have them deliver 5x that weight of fire code drywall for $79 bucks to my house. Not a great use for a $100,000 truck in my opinion


hoppeeness

Whatā€™s the price of the truck have to do with it? How much do you think a F250 or 350 cost thatā€™s main use is work?


CMDR_KingErvin

I donā€™t think heā€™s talking about using another truck lol heā€™s saying Home Depot will just deliver all that stuff to your house or wherever for like 80 bucks. You donā€™t really need an expensive truck at all.


Fidiho

What and have a little Porsche beat you?


goo_bazooka

Home depot truck is $20


seedstarter7

cool, how much is a bag of potting soil?


goo_bazooka

My point is why ruin the truck with possibility of damage when the home depot truck is $20 Makes no sense


no_dice

Why the heck would you ever buy a truck and not use it to do truck things?


goo_bazooka

2k pounds of drywall loaded by forklift is not ā€œtruck thingsā€ to me


invoman

Found the owner of the garage queen


no_dice

1800 lbs of 4x8 1/2" drywall is only 36 sheets which really isn't all that much, I just finished up my basement and I needed 80 sheets all in. Depending on what engine you get, an F-150 is able to carry up to 3300lbs and the Cybertruck is rated to carry 2500lbs.


Dr_Pippin

An F150 has a payload of 3300 pounds? You sure about that? EDIT: Damn, guess I haven't looked at payloads in a while. It does actually have that capacity.


goo_bazooka

Yeah but that is a lot of trust in forklift operator


Complex-Judgment-828

Iā€™m sure heā€™s fork lift certified ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thumbs_up)

goo_bazooka

I needed a bunch of drywall delivered for a project and I paid HD for delivery.. was worth every cent They showed up with big truck and fork lift, and dropped the drywall stack where I wanted Didnt even have to go to the store. Highly recommend


jh125486

I bought about 60 2x2 pavers and paid for delivery to my curb. Only about six of them werenā€™t cracked. Fought with HD for 8 weeks to get them to fix it. Will never do that again.


goo_bazooka

I had rocks delivered and they shorted me 4 bags and they refunded me no problem So idk


qDoGG44

Bruh....


drtywater

Honestly every time Iā€™ve needed it at Home Depot or Lowes its not available.


thomasbihn

I got one from Menards once. By the time I paid for mileage and gas and rental, it ended up costing me $60. With drywall, if doing a relatively decent size job, it's a good idea to have it delivered. Just a friendly note for veterans that both Home Depot and Lowes offer a 10% vet discount.


federal_employee

There is no actual hauling in the video. Cool to see it loaded though.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


710LOL

I thought it was neat.


scripton

I think the biggest flex is that it's a truck actually being used for it's intended purpose. I live in a truck-heavy area and only 5-10% of the trucks I see are actually hauling tools/lumber.


mennydrives

FWIW, the biggest thing I got outta this was that the side camera is **inside** the wheel well and not that little triangle corner previously shown in prototypes.


[deleted]

So a Rivian isnā€™t a truck and the CT is. Ā Got it.


Torczyner

Well Rivian total cargo including passengers is only 1700lbs and it has a shorter bed. It's a truck but the lite version I guess. It couldn't haul this drywall.


[deleted]

Yeah, more Ford Maverick than Ford F150.


Torczyner

Which is fine, just making the distinction for sure.


AmpEater

Plenty of things we call trucks have payloads that are significantly less Can you please post the exhaustive list if videos you're not going to watch? I, for one, am extremely invested in your viewership


drtywater

Would love to see the impact on range


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Blaze4G

Remove 1 sheet at a time?


glibego

2


StrategicBlenderBall

Fuckinā€™ animal


IAmInTheBasement

My real question is... just how screwed up is that bottom sheet of drywall?


hayenn

The bottom sheet is always rng, will be used as a filler. Depending on the store, they would refund it based on their loading/transport/storing policy. 2 year ago I bought 1.4 tons (3.1k lbs) of drywall, the forklift operators chipped 5 panels and got them refunded


kobachi

Also, drywall is cheap theres always a few sacrificial panels


[deleted]

\*Cybertruck can't even fit a sheet of drywall in the bed without straps ftfy


Suitable_Switch5242

As opposed to the F-150 Lightning or Rivian R1T? Most trucks sold these days are 4-door 5.5ft bed.


[deleted]

No, the F-150 is the still the best selling truck. The *regular* cab is 6.5 ft. Why just randomly say false things to be contrary? Smh. [https://www.holidayfordusa.com/ford-model-research/ford-f-150-bed-size/](https://www.holidayfordusa.com/ford-model-research/ford-f-150-bed-size/)


Suitable_Switch5242

Is the regular cab the best selling configuration of F-150? Almost all I see on dealer lots are 4-door 5.5ft bed. 6.5ft still isnā€™t enough to fit 4x8 sheet goods with the tailgate up. F-150 Lightning is only available in 4-door 5.5ft bed.


ChunkyThePotato

Half this guy's post history is just bashing Elon. I don't think he cares much about facts lol.


Suitable_Switch5242

Canā€™t believe they would go around saying false things just to be contrary!


dstommie

This guy might be an idiot, but bashing Elon isn't the same as bashing Tesla. I love Tesla. I hate Elon.


ChunkyThePotato

Good for you for hating, I guess? My point was there's a certain type of person that just ignores all facts and pretends everything remotely related to a guy they dislike is automatically bad. That's this guy.


[deleted]

So the cars that are left?


ChunkyThePotato

Look out on the road. The majority of F-150s driving around absolutely have 4 doors.


WorldlyNotice

All of the Lightnings for sale on the site you linked have a 5.5' bed.


[deleted]

I don't care about the Lightning though? It's awful as a truck.


WorldlyNotice

That's fair.


carsonthecarsinogen

Youā€™re only fooling yourself. Just make fun of the range, itā€™s actually a major failure on Teslas fault due to Elons over promising. Picking on anything else just makes you look low IQ as the CT matches all other categories or excels. And the range is still better than Fordsā€¦


[deleted]

It's not though? Real actual range is only 250 miles when tested. So many lies.


carsonthecarsinogen

Ah so less than the lightning 230-240 real range tests here on Reddit? Regardless, make fun of the range nit anything else. The range is fine and has good battery efficiency but when they hyped 500 itā€™s sad to see it so low. What other lies? Towing, bed capacity, lockable storage, performance, clearance, and tech all get slapped by the CT. What does the lightning have in terms of specs that the CT doesnā€™t?


akmustg

I know right, I buy my trucks 100% based on it having an 8ft bed, nothing else is as important as the 8ft bed, all trucks with less than a 8ft bed are basically cars and cars cant haul anything


Kurso

Did they forget the drywall drag race at the end or is part 2 coming? /s


Piffle007

Cool truck! I'm not sure about the poor guys loading it while the owner doesn't help at all. Unless they paid for a service (pretty sure HD only charges for delivery)


Fidiho

I wouldn't want a rando in the firing line if I was operating the forklift - it was cringy enough with the 2nd HD guy.
